I have a question which just got me the Tumbleweed badge. I was wondering if I could delete my question. One reason is I found the answer and I have previously answered some of my questions, so it won't be nice to do that again. Second, no one even saw the question. Why must a point be deducted when we delete a question? And can you delete a Tumbleweed question?

There are some niche tags where you can wait longer before you receive an answer. Some of my questions got an answer after a few months. In some cases I wasn't doing anything anymore with the technologies I had asked about :)

Well, the tumbleweed is exactly what it's name stays for. Just weep the tears and learn to be patient. If it was for deleting questions, it would be called rubber or something like that.
